Simultaneous removal of phosphorus and nitrogen in sequencing batch reactor   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
In this research, investigations were made on material transfer mechanisms and optimum operation mode for sequencing batch reactor system removing phosphorus and nitrogen simultaneously. Phosphorus release characteristics were expressed in the Monod equation, in which the reaction rate was replaced with specific phosphorus release (SPR) rate. The rate of SPR was increased during the first 80 days, but increased sharply to reach 0.003 hr-1 afterwards. Phosphorus removal efficiencies were about 60% in the first 80 days, 75% after 80 days, and above 95% after 120 days. After 120 days, phosphorus concentration in effluent was below 0.5 mgl-1 when 8 mgl-1 was in the influent and the released phosphorus after 3-hour-anaerobic period was 60 mgl-1. In the proposed optimum operation strategy (2-hour anaerobic react, 3-hour aerobic react, 4-hour anoxic react, and 3-hour settle and draw), phosphorus reappeared if the oxidized nitrogen was completely denitrified. In order to prevent this undesirable phosphorus release, anoxic period should be reduced to the extent of which the minimal concentration of the oxidized nitrogen existed. Phosphorus removal efficiency was stable under shock load as 5 times high as normal phosphorus concentration.Abbreviations dP/dt Phosphorus release rate (mgl-1 hr-1) - K Phosphorus release yield constant (mg P mg TOC-1) - dS/dt Substrate utilization rate (mgl-1 hr-1) - X Mixed liquor suspended solid (MLSS, mgl-1) - S Soluble TOC (mgl-1) - k-qmax (Ymax)-1 Maximum substrate utilization rate - Y Yield coefficient (mg mg-1) - Ks Saturation constant (mgl-1) - Pmax kK-Maximum phosphorus release rate (hr-1) - Prel Total released phosphorus (mgl-1) - Po Phosphorus in influent (mgl-1) - Pe phosphorus in effluent (mgl-1) - t Anaerobic period (hr)  相似文献

A sequencing batch reactor (SBR) system is demonstrated to biologically remove nitrogen, phosphorus and chemical oxygen demand (COD) to very low levels from abattoir wastewater. Each 6 h cycle contained three anoxic/anaerobic and aerobic sub-cycles with wastewater fed at the beginning of each anoxic/anaerobic period. The step-feed strategy was applied to avoid high-level build-up of nitrate or nitrite during nitrification, and therefore to facilitate the creation of anaerobic conditions required for biological phosphorus removal. A high degree removal of total phosphorus (>98%), total nitrogen (>97%) and total COD (>95%) was consistently and reliably achieved after a 3-month start-up period. The concentrations of total phosphate and inorganic nitrogen in the effluent were consistently lower than 0.2 mg P l−1 and 8 mg N l−1, respectively. Fluorescence in situ hybridization revealed that the sludge was enriched in Accumulibacter spp. (20–40%), a known polyphosphate accumulating organism, whereas the known glycogen accumulating organisms were almost absent. The SBR received two streams of abattoir wastewater, namely the effluent from a full-scale anaerobic pond (75%) and the effluent from a lab-scale high-rate pre-fermentor (25%), both receiving raw abattoir wastewater as feed. The pond effluent contained approximately 250 mg N l−1 total nitrogen and 40 mg P l−1 of total phosphorus, but relatively low levels of soluble COD (around 500 mg l−1). The high-rate lab-scale pre-fermentor, operated at 37°C and with a sludge retention time of 1 day, proved to be a cheap and effective method for providing supplementary volatile fatty acids allowing for high-degree of biological nutrient removal from abattoir wastewater.  相似文献

A laboratory-scale anaerobic–anoxic/nitrification sequencing batch reactor (A2N-SBR) fed with domestic wastewater was operated to examine the effect of varying ratios of influent COD/P, COD/TN and TN/P on the nutrient removal. With the increased COD/P, the phosphorus removals exhibited an upward trend. The influent TN/P ratios had a positive linear correlation with the phosphorus removal efficiencies, mainly because nitrates act as electron acceptors for the phosphorus uptake in the A2N-SBR. Moreover, it was found that lower COD/TN ratio, e.g. 3.5, did not significantly weaken the phosphorus removal, though the nitrogen removal first decreased greatly. The optimal phosphorus and nitrogen removals of 94% and 91%, respectively were achieved with influent COD/P and COD/TN ratios of 19.9 and 9.9, respectively. Additionally, a real-time control strategy for A2N-SBR can be undertaken based on some characteristic points of pH, redox potential (ORP) and dissolved oxygen (DO) profiles in order to obtain the optimum hydraulic retention time (HRT) and improve the operating reliability.  相似文献

In the research and application of microbial fuel cell (MFC), how to incorporate MFCs into current wastewater infrastructure is an importance issue. Here, we report a novel strategy of integrating an MFC into a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) to test the energy production and the chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal. The membrane-less biocathode MFC is integrated with the SBR to recover energy from the aeration in the form of electricity and thus reduce the SBR operation costs. In a lab-scale integrated SBR-MFC system, the maximum power production of the MFC was 2.34 W/m(3) for one typical cycle and the current density reached up to 14 A/m(3) . As a result, the MFC contributed to the 18.7% COD consumption of the integrated system and also recovered energy from the aeration tank with a volume fraction of only 12% of the SBR. Our strategy provides a feasible and effective energy-saving and -recovering solution to upgrade the existing activated sludge processes.  相似文献

The supernatant from mesophilic anaerobic digestion of piggery wastewater is characterised by a high amount of COD (4.1 g COD L(-1)), ammonium (2.3g NH(4)(+)-NL(-1)) and suspended solids (2.5 g SS L(-1)). This effluent can be efficiently treated by means of a Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) strategy for biological COD, SS and nitrogen removal including a Coagulation/Flocculation step. Total COD and SS reduction yields higher than 66% and 74%, respectively, and a total nitrogen removal (via nitrite) of more than 98% were reached when working with HRT 2.7 days, SRT 12 days, temperature 32 degrees C, three aerobic/anoxic periods, without external control of pH and under limited aeration flow. The inhibition of nitrite oxidizing biomass was achieved by the working free ammonia concentration and the restricted air supply (dissolved oxygen concentration below 1 mg O(2)L(-1)). Since a part of the total COD was colloidal and/or refractory, a Coagulation/Flocculation step was implemented inside the SBR operating strategy to meet a suitable effluent quality to be discharged. Several Jar-Tests demonstrated that the optimal concentration of FeCl(3) was 800 mg L(-1). A respirometric assay showed that this coagulant dosage did not affect the biological activity of nitrifying/denitrifying biomass.  相似文献

COD, nitrogen, phosphate and para-chlorophenol (4-chlorophenol, 4-CP) removal from synthetic wastewater was investigated using a four-step sequencing batch reactor (SBR) at different sludge ages and initial para-chlorophenol (4-CP) concentrations. The nutrient removal process consisted of anaerobic, oxic, anoxic and oxic phases with hydraulic residence times (HRT) of 1/3/1/1 h and a settling phase of 0.75 h. A Box-Wilson statistical experiment design was used considering the sludge age (5-25 days) and 4-CP concentration (0-400 mg l(-1)) as independent variables. Variations of percent COD, NH4-N, PO4-P and 4-CP removals with sludge age and initial 4-CP concentration were investigated. Percent nutrient removals increased with increasing sludge age and decreasing 4-CP concentrations. Low nutrient removals were obtained at high initial 4-CP concentrations especially at low sludge ages. However, high sludge ages partially overcome the adverse effects of 4-CP and resulted in high nutrient removals. COD, NH4-N, PO4-P and 4-CP removals were 76%, 72%, 26% and 34% at a sludge age of 25 days and initial 4-CP concentration of 200 mg l(-1). Sludge volume index (SVI) also decreased with increasing sludge age and decreasing 4-CP concentrations. An SVI value of 104 ml g(-1) was obtained at a sludge age of 25 days and initial 4-CP of 200 mg l(-1).  相似文献

The impact of temperature and cycle length on microbial competition between polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB)-producing populations enriched in feast-famine sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) was investigated at temperatures of 20 °C and 30 °C, and in a cycle length range of 1–18 h. In this study, the microbial community structure of the PHB-producing enrichments was found to be strongly dependent on temperature, but not on cycle length. Zoogloea and Plasticicumulans acidivorans dominated the SBRs operated at 20 °C and 30 °C, respectively. Both enrichments accumulated PHB more than 75% of cell dry weight. Short-term temperature change experiments revealed that P. acidivorans was more temperature sensitive as compared with Zoogloea. This is particularly true for the PHB degradation, resulting in incomplete PHB degradation in P. acidivorans at 20 °C. Incomplete PHB degradation limited biomass growth and allowed Zoogloea to outcompete P. acidivorans. The PHB content at the end of the feast phase correlated well with the cycle length at a constant solid retention time (SRT). These results suggest that to establish enrichment with the capacity to store a high fraction of PHB, the number of cycles per SRT should be minimized independent of the temperature.  相似文献

This article studies the operation of a new process for the production of biopolymers (polyhydroxyalkanoates, PHAs) at different applied organic load rates (OLRs). The process is based on the aerobic enrichment of activated sludge to obtain mixed cultures able to store PHAs at high rates and yields. A mixture of acetic, lactic, and propionic acids at different concentrations (in the range 8.5-31.25 gCOD/L) was fed every 2 h in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR). The resulting applied OLR was in the range 8.5-31.25 gCOD/L/day. Even though, as expected, the increase in the OLR caused an increase in biomass concentration (up to about 8.7 g COD/L), it also caused a relevant decrease of maximal polymer production rate. This decrease in polymer production rate was related to the different extent of "feast and famine" conditions, as function of the applied OLR and of the start-up conditions. As a consequence the best performance of the process was obtained at an intermediate OLR (20 gCOD/L/day) where both biomass productivity and PHA storage were high enough. However, at this high OLR the process was unstable and sudden decrease of performance was also observed. The sludge characterized by the highest PHA storage response was investigated by 16S rDNA clone library. The clone library contained sequences mostly from PHA producers (e.g., Alcaligenes and Comamonas genera); however many genera and among them, one of the dominant (Thauera), were never described before in relation to PHA storage response.  相似文献

Simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND) via the nitrite pathway and anaerobic-anoxic-enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) are two processes that can significantly reduce the energy and COD demand for nitrogen and phosphorus removal. The combination of these two processes has the potential of achieving simultaneous nitrogen and phosphorus removal with a minimal requirement for COD. A lab-scale sequencing batch reactor (SBR) was operated in alternating anaerobic-aerobic mode with a low dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration (0.5 mg/L) during the aerobic period, and was demonstrated to accomplish nitrification, denitrification, and phosphorus removal. Under anaerobic conditions, COD was taken up and converted to polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), accompanied by phosphorus release. In the subsequent aerobic stage, PHA was oxidized and phosphorus was taken up to <0.5 mg/L by the end of the cycle. Ammonia was also oxidized during the aerobic period, but without accumulation of nitrite or nitrate in the system, indicating the occurrence of simultaneous nitrification and denitrification. However, off-gas analysis showed that the final denitrification product was mainly nitrous oxide (N(2)O), not N(2). Further experimental results demonstrated that nitrogen removal was via nitrite, not nitrate. These experiments also showed that denitrifying glycogen-accumulating organisms (DGAOs), rather than denitrifying polyphosphate-accumulating organisms (DPAOs), were responsible for the denitrification activity.  相似文献

Models are presented in order of progressively more complex spatial resolution in which the effects on the sediment-water interactions are emphasized. For simple models, the diagnostic approach of calculating the net settling and return of total phosphorus is demonstrated with data from Lake Erie. For more complex models, the effects of interbasin transport and vertical mixing are shown to be important in determining the pathways of the sediment-released or sediment-bound phosphorus in the water column.  相似文献

The bacterial community of an aerobic:anaerobic non-P removing SBR biomass fed a mixture of acetate and glucose was analysed using several 16S rRNA based methods. Populations responsible for anaerobic glucose and acetate assimilation were determined with fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) in combination with microautoradiography (FISH/MAR). At 'steady state' this community consisted of alpha-Proteobacteria (26%) and gamma-Proteobacteria (14%), mainly appearing as large cocci in tetrads (i.e. typical 'G-Bacteria'). Large numbers of low G+C bacteria (22%), and high G+C Gram-positive bacteria (29%) seen as small cocci in clusters or in sheets were also detected after FISH. DGGE fingerprinting of PCR amplified 16S rDNA fragments and subsequent cloning and sequencing of several of the major bands led to the identification of some of these populations. They included an organism 98% similar in its 16S rRNA sequence to Micropruina glycogenica, and ca. 76% of the high G+C bacteria responded to a probe MIC 184, designed against it. The rest responded to the KSB 531 probe designed against a high G+C clone sequence, sbr-gs28 reported in other similar systems. FISH analyses showed that both these high G+C populations were almost totally dominated by small clustered cocci. Only ca. 2% of cells were beta-Proteobacteria. None of the alpha- and gamma-Proteobacterial 'G-bacteria' responded to FISH probes designed for the 'G-Bacteria' Amaricoccus spp. or Defluvicoccus vanus. FISH/MAR revealed that not all the alpha-Proteobacterial 'G-Bacteria' could take up acetate or glucose anaerobically. Almost all of the gamma-Proteobacterial 'G-Bacteria' assimilated acetate anaerobically but not glucose, the low G+C clustered cocci only took up glucose, whereas the high G+C bacteria including M. glycogenica and the sbr-gs28 clone assimilated both acetate and glucose. All bacteria other than the low G+C small cocci and a few of the alpha-Proteobacteria accumulated PHB. The low G+C bacteria showing anaerobic glucose assimilation ability were considered responsible for the lactic acid produced anaerobically by this SBR biomass, and M. glycogenica for its high glycogen content.  相似文献

This study investigated the effects of internal recycling time mode and hydraulic retention time (HRT) on nutrient removal in the sequencing anoxic/anaerobic membrane bioreactor process. Denitrification and phosphorus release were reciprocally dependent on the anoxic/anaerobic time ratio (Ax/An). As Ax/An increased, nitrogen removal rate increased but phosphorus removal rate decreased. The increasing Ax/An provided the longer denitrification period so that the organic substrate were consumed more for denitrification rather than phosphorus release in the limited condition of readily biodegradable substrate. Decreasing HRT increased both nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiency because as HRT decreased, food-to-microorganism loading ratio increased and thus enhanced the biological capacity and activity of denitrifying bacteria. This could be verified from the observation mixed liquor suspended solids concentration and specific denitrification rate. The change of Ax/An and HRT affected phosphorus removal more than nitrogen removal due to the limitation of favourable carbon source for phosphorus accumulating organisms.  相似文献

To improve phosphorus removal from wastewater, we constructed a high-phosphate-accumulating microorganism, KTPPK, using Pseudomonas putida KT2440 as a host. The expression plasmid was constructed by inserting and expressing polyphosphate kinase gene (ppk) from Microcystis aeruginosa NIES-843 into broad-host-range plasmid, pBBR1MCS-2. KTPPK was then added to a sequencing batch biofilm reactor (SBBFR) using lava as a biological carrier. The results showed that SBBFR with KTPPK not only efficiently removed COD, NH(3)-N, and NO(3)(-)-N but also had a high removal capacity for PO(4)(3-)-P, resulting in a low phosphorus concentration remaining in the outflow of the SBBFR. The biofilm increased by 30-53% on the lava in the SBBFR that contained KTPPK after 11 days when compared with the reactor that contained P. putida KT2440. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction confirmed that the copy of ppk was maintained at about 3.5 × 10(10) copies per μL general DNA in the biofilm after 20 days. Thus, the transgenic bacteria KTPPK could maintain a high density and promote phosphorus removal in the SBBFR. In summary, this study indicates that the use of SBBFR with transgenic bacteria has the potential to remove phosphorus and nitrogen from wastewater.  相似文献

Two methods were used to measure in-stream nitrogen loss in the Connecticut River during studies conducted in April and August 2005. A mass balance on nitrogen inputs and output for two study reaches (55 and 66 km), at spring high flow and at summer low flow, was computed on the basis of total nitrogen concentrations and measured river discharges in the Connecticut River and its tributaries. In a 10.3 km subreach of the northern 66 km reach, concentrations of dissolved N2 were also measured during summer low flow and compared to modeled N2 concentrations (based on temperature and atmospheric gas exchange rates) to determine the measured “excess” N2 that indicates denitrification. Mass balance results showed no in-stream nitrogen loss in either reach during April 2005, and no nitrogen loss in the southern 55 km study reach during August 2005. In the northern 66 km reach during August 2005, however, nitrogen output was 18% less than the total nitrogen inputs to the reach. N2 sampling results gave an estimated rate of N2 production that would remove 3.3% of the nitrogen load in the river over the 10.3 km northern sub-reach. The nitrogen losses measured in the northern reach in August 2005 may represent an approximate upper limit for nitrogen attenuation in the Connecticut River because denitrification processes are most active during warm summer temperatures and because the study was performed during the annual low-flow period when total nitrogen loads are small.  相似文献

The objectives of this work were to demonstrate the potential of a two-phase sequencing batch reactor in degrading xenobiotics and to evaluate the kinetic parameters leading to a mathematical model of the system. 4-Nitrophenol (4NP), a typical representative of substituted phenols, was selected as the target xenobiotic; this compound has never been remediated in a two-phase bioreactor before. Partition tests were conducted to determine the most appropriate partitioning solvent, and among the three investigated solvents (1-undecanol, 2-undecanone and oleyl alcohol), 2-undecanone was chosen because of its favourable partition coefficient and its negligible emulsion-forming tendencies. Moreover, the selected solvent showed satisfactory biocompatibility characteristics with respect to the biomass, with only minor effects on the intrinsic microbial kinetics. Kinetic tests were then performed in a sequencing batch reactor (2-l volume) operated in both conventional one- and two-phase configurations, with the two-phase system showing a significant improvement in the process kinetics in terms of reduced inhibition and increased maximum removal rate. The obtained kinetic parameters suggest that the two-phase sequencing batch system may find full-scale application, as the maximum removal rate k max (~3 mg 4NP mgVSS−1 day−1) is of the same order of magnitude of heterotrophic bacteria operating in wastewater treatment plants.  相似文献

In this paper, the differences between reinforced sequencing batch reactor, which was inoculated with superior mixed flora, and conventional sequencing batch reactor were compared in the process of treating papermaking wastewater under similar conditions. The results showed that the addition of superior mixed flora could not only shorten the sludge acclimation time, but also improve the treatment efficiency of reactor as well as make the reactor have higher ability to withstand high volume loading rate; the phenomenon of aerobic granulation only occurred in reinforced sequencing batch reactor, and superior mixed flora were the key reason that aerobic granular sludge could shape; aerobic granular sludge had many advantages over conventional activated sludge such as it possessed compacter microbial structure, better settling performance, and lower water content.  相似文献

Narragansett Bay is a relatively well-mixed, high salinity coastal embayment and estuary complex in southern New England (USA). Much of the shoreline is urban and the watershed is densely developed. We have combined our data on C, N, and P inputs to this system, on C, N, and P accumulation in the sediments, and on denitrification with extensive work by others to develop approximate annual mass balances for these elements. The results show that primary production within the bay is the major source of organic carbon (4 times greater than other sources), that land drainage and upstream sewage and fertilizer are the major sources of N, and that landward flowing bottom water from offshore may be a major source of dissolved inorganic phosphorus. Most of the nutrients entering the bay arrive in dissolved inorganic form, though DON is a significant component of the N carried by the rivers. About 40% of the DIN in the rivers is in the form of ammonia. Sedimentation rates are low in most of Narragansett Bay, and it appears that less than 20% of the total annual input of each of these elements is retained within the system. A very small amount of C, N, and P is removed in fisheries landings, denitrification in the sediments removes perhaps 10–25% of the N input, and most of the carbon fixed in the system is respired within it. Stoichiometric calculations suggest that some 10–20% of the organic matter formed in the bay is exported to offshore and that Narragansett Bay is an autotrophic system. Most of the N and P that enters the bay is, however, exported to offshore waters in dissolved inorganic form. This assessment of the overall biogeochemical behavior of C, N, and P in the bay is consistent with more rigorously constrained mass balances obtained using large living models or mesocosms of the bay at the Marine Ecosystem Research Laboratory (MERL).  相似文献

Natural zeolite was added to the sequencing batch reactors to assess its role in ammonium exchange. Even though the biofilm was fully developed on the zeolite surface, ammonium removal and the biological regeneration of the zeolite occurred constantly during the anoxic-fill phase and the reaction phase, respectively. However, the specific nitrification rate of the bio-flocculated zeolite was lower than that observed in the control on account of the limited ammonium release to the liquid phase.  相似文献

An intermittently aerated membrane bioreactor (IAMBR) system has been developed to improve the efficiency of nutrient removal, and for the stable treatment of organic matter which is contained as suspended solid (SS) in the influent. The important operating factors of an intermittently aerated bioreactor (IABR) are sludge retention times (SRTs) and carbon/nitrogen (C/N) ratios. Because research on IAMBR is young, this paper explores the effect of SRTs and C/N ratios on these systems. For SRTs of 20, 25, 30, and 40 days, there was little difference in the removal of COD, T–N, and T–P. In comparing C/N ratios of 4.5, 7, and 10, the COD concentration in permeate with a C/N ratio of 10 was most stable, although the concentration of organic matter in the influent was high. The removal efficiencies of T–N and T–P in permeate with a C/N ratio of 10 were the highest at 92.9% and 88.9%, respectively. This implies that a C/N ratio above 10 should be maintained for a nutrient removal efficiency of approximately 90%.  相似文献
